Io Echo – ‘Berlin, It’s All A Mess’

I don’t think I’ve been freaked out quite so much from some moving pictures since I found that video hidden-away in the cabinet of my parents bedroom.

Let’s cast the facetious remarks aside, as this is something of a beautiful artistic creation from the LA-based lo-fi duo Io Echo, who released LP Ministry of Love last month. The video is a collaboration between filmmaker John Hillcoat and photographer Polly Borland with some haunting, yet oddly-mesmeric results through the use of seemingly ‘found’ footage that has been slowed-down, and then messed around with. Put aside 4 minutes 43 seconds of your day and engorge yourself in the audio/visual experience.
